Significance of Personal power
Personal power, as outlined in Purana, encompasses both the material strength and authority individuals perceive to possess over the earth, leading to a false sense of ownership. Additionally, it highlights the individual strength of figures like Prithu, who can enact change and protect the earth. In Indian history, personal power is characterized by the pursuit of political ambitions of individuals in parties like Congress, sometimes undermining collective principles for personal gain.
